After he looked great with the Blazers last year, Maynor just fell on his face this season. He can't score and is unlikely to get playing time with another team. Sun, Mar 16, 2014 07:00:00 PM

Despite playing 16 minutes off Philly's bench on Sunday, backup PG Eric Maynor went scoreless with one assist and three turnovers.

Lorenzo Brown is out with torn wrist ligaments and Maynor should continue to pick up decent minutes. He scored 13 points in each of the past two games, putting him on the radar in deep leagues, but those performances belie his season-long 34.4 percent shooting. Proceed with caution.

Eric Maynor scored 13 points with five boards, one assist, one block and two 3-pointers in 18 minutes against the Wizards on Saturday.

He scored 13 points against the Magic on Wednesday thanks to some garbage time and did it again. You know the Sixers are bad when backup point guards can actually put up deep-league value because of the extended playing time in the fourth. It might backfire, but owners in deep leagues can think about using Maynor against very good teams like the Oklahoma City on Tuesday. Sat, Mar 1, 2014 10:38:00 PM

Tony Wroten (knee) is expected to be ready for the start of the 2015-16 season.

Wroten is currently rehabbing after having undergoing surgery to repair a partially torn anterior cruciate ligament in his right knee on February 3. Even if he's ready for the start of the regular season, the 22-year-old will likely need some time to get up to speed so he's not worth much more than a late-round flier for fantasy owners at the moment.

Nik Stauskas (ankle) said that he'll spend time this offseason working to improve upon his defense.

"There were countless times last year I would go on the floor and I was targeted, right away teams would attack me, and the adjustment to the physicality and defense," Stauskas said. "It’s an adjustment and I’m just getting better every day on it." Stauskas went on to say that his play during his rookie season was "very poor," but he'll have a chance at redemption playing in Philadelphia. Still, after shooting just 36.5 percent from the field during his rookie year, he won't be worth much more than a late-round flier on draft day.

Jake Fischer of Sports Illustrated said that it's highly unlikely that Carl Landry will stick around with the 76ers.

The 76ers could pursue a trade, a buyout or simply waive the 31-year-old veteran, and that would likely happen before training camp. Landry is currently recovering from wrist surgery and it's possible that he isn't ready to start the season, but it's also clear that Landry isn't in Philly's long-term plans. In case it isn't obvious, Landry isn't on the standard league radar.

Following the news that Jason Thompson was traded to the Warriors, Richaun Holmes could be in the rotation for the 76ers next season.

Holmes recently signed a four-year deal with the 76ers, so it would make a lot of sense to give him some run early on. He is currently recovering from a fractured elbow, but he will begin shooting and working out next week and should be good for training camp. Holmes would come off the bench behind Nerlens Noel if he impresses at training camp, but he won't see enough action to matter in standard leagues.

The 76ers sent out a statement on July 11 saying that Embiid would undergo a season-ending bone graft surgery on his foot "in the next 7-10 days", but 20 days have now gone by without an answer from the franchise. It is still unclear if Embiid has already had the surgery, so this situation is odd to say the least. The 76ers haven't been very transparent throughout this process, but we will be sure to update Embiid's status as soon as we know more. To be clear, Embiid is still expected to miss the entire 2015-16 season unless we hear otherwise.
